Plot

Madhav Joshi is a man who struggles to find a suitable bride for marriage. After considerable difficulty, he marries Radhika Pathak. On their wedding day, Madhav's friend Ravi gifts him a box of sex toys as a wedding present.
The complications begin on their first night when Radhika discovers the box. Having had a traumatic past experience with her ex-boyfriend who had used sex toys forcibly, she becomes uncomfortable and fearful that her new husband might behave similarly. This discovery creates a significant rift between the newly married couple, and for five months, they are unable to consummate their marriage. Radhika confides in her friend Sapna about her past trauma and her fears regarding her husband, though she doesn't reveal that she had seen the box of sex toys. Meanwhile, the tension in their relationship continues to mount as both partners struggle with unspoken fears and misunderstandings.
After five months of marital discord, Madhav travels to Amsterdam and Paris for a work assignment. During his time in Amsterdam, he befriends Natasha, a divorcee who helps him understand the importance of communication in relationships. She advises Madhav to have an honest conversation with his wife to resolve their differences. Back in India, Sapna explains to Radhika that using intimacy aids to enhance marital relationships is considered normal and healthy. Realizing her mistake and understanding that her fears were based on past trauma rather than her husband's intentions, Radhika decides to make amends. She travels to Paris where Madhav is staying and apologizes to him, leading to the resolution of their marital issues.
